Nepal vs India Live Stream | SAFF Women’s Championship
Nepal's head coach Kumar Thapa was the potential semifinal opponent rather than the final match. According to Thapa, any team from Group B that consists of India, Bangladesh and Afghanistan, would be an equally tough opponent for three times runner-up Nepal in the semifinal. “If Bangladesh were able to stop them from scoring in their last game, why can’t we do the same in the semi-finals,” added Thapa. “We will play to our potential and get what we have done so far in the tournament.”
In three previous meetings, India defeated Nepal 1-0 in the final match in Bangladesh in 2010, recorded a 3-1 victory in the 2012 final in Sri Lanka and registered a 6-0 win in the last edition’s final in Pakistan two years later. India have also dominated Nepal in the South Asian Games. During the 11th edition held in Bangladesh in 2010, India beat Nepal 5-0 and registered a 3-1 win in the final.
India coach Sajid Dar also tipped Nepal as the favourites. “There’s no denying that they are one step ahead than all the other teams in the tournament. They have prepared thoroughly for the championship. They are a very strong side and have always been tough competitors,” Dar was quoted as saying by IANS.
In the last match, Nepal defeated Sri Lanka 1-0 to produce cent percent winning record. In the meantime, India overcame Afghanistan in the opening match 5-1 but played a goalless draw against Bangladesh for the first time in the championship.
